Self-ligating brackets and Invisalign are two orthodontic systems that can correct bite problems, such as gaps between teeth or crowding:
Comparison between brackets and Invisalign
If you are thinking about correcting your teeth and improving your smile and you are wondering which is the best option: traditional braces or Invisalign?
Self-ligating brackets
Traditional braces, lingual braces or invisible aligners. Self-ligating brackets use a passive cap mechanism that allows the archwires to move freely, which reduces friction and makes archwire changes easier. However, they can be more expensive than traditional brackets and may have fewer color options.
Advantages of metal brackets:
We explain the advantages that you can generally find in brackets, taking as a reference the classic metal brackets or self-ligating brackets that are placed on the outside of your teeth:
– Economical – The price of conventional metal brackets is the most economical of the entire range of orthodontic treatments, followed by all types of brackets cemented on the outside of the teeth (self-ligating/aesthetic).
– Resistant – Conventional brackets, being made of metal, are difficult to break. As for ceramic aesthetic brackets, we choose high quality and very resistant brackets.
– Effective – Proven effective over time, they can achieve precise and controlled movements that are easy to predict for the successful treatment of all types of malocclusions and crowding.
Invisalign
Clear aligners or plastic splints are used. The aligners are removable, so they can be removed for eating and brushing teeth. Invisalign is more efficient than braces because the force is better distributed over the entire surface of the plastic. Treatment time with Invisalign is usually shorter than with braces, between 12 and 18 months.
Invisalign are removable aligners that are removed for eating and brushing. In addition to comfort and esthetics, the forces applied to the teeth are very gentle and virtually unobtrusive because they occur over the entire surface of the plastic.
Advantages of Invisalign:
– Hygiene hygiene with Invisalign is excellent and easy to perform since the aligners are removed to clean the teeth and in this way it is as if you were not wearing any treatment, hygiene does not change anything with Invisalign.
– Aesthetics It must be said that although Invisalign invisible orthodontics is not completely invisible, it is rather transparent, it has excellent aesthetics.
– You can eat as usual. You only have to remove the aligners from your teeth and that’s it.
– Shorter and spaced appointments With invisalign appointments are shorter than with braces and we can also space the appointments every 6 to 8 weeks.
– Adaptation Adaptation with Invisalign is very fast and very easy because they are very comfortable, it will cost you little to adapt to talk to them.
